*****DISCLAIMER: Zuka has a wide arrangment of spells, but in order to keep it fair I've added decent casting times to offset the number of spells he has. I can add more time to the casting time if it is deemed necessary by the RP Council.*****
Auras
Aura of Death:
This aura causes the stench of death to surround the necromancer and drain the will of the enemy to fight. Any enemies within the aura that succumb to its effects cannot fight and begin to vommit uncontrollably. The radius is thirty feet.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Aura of Evil:
This aura protects the necromancer against holy auras and offers a better chance of resisting holy magic. Aside from its protection, it also heals the necromancer's undead minions and immediately identifies him/her as an evil being. The radius is thirty feet.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Aura of Fear:
This aura taps primal fears of its victims and, if they fail a will save, causes them to flee in terror from the necromancer. The radius is thirty feet.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Aura of the Lich:
This aura is well feared by followers of the light and is well-respected by other followers of the dark. Aura of the Lich drains the health of any hostile creature towards the necromancer/lich and heals him/her and his/her minions and allies. At the same time, it saps away at the enemy's will to fight the necromancer/lich, reduces their reaction times, and the victims suffer penalties to all their attributes.
Casting time: 30 seconds
Verata's Aura:
This aura causes all demons and undead hostile to the necromancer to cease their hostile actions and bond under the necromancer's banner as long as this aura is in effect. Those controlled by a master are still affected.
Casting time: 20 seconds
Blood Spells
Blood of the Master:
This spell, at the expense of some of the necromancer's blood, can heal all of his/her minions and increase their capabilities. The more blood the necromancer sacrifices, the faster his/her minions are healed and the better they fight.
Casting time: 10 seconds, blood required
Rain of Blood:
This spell causes a torrential rainfall of diseased, cursed, or poisoned blood that will affect all targets within a five-meter radius of the area the spell was casted on. Damage sustained from this spell can only be reversed through magical means, and can possibly kill the victims if they do not seek magical treatment. Casting of this spell is a truly evil act.
Casting time: 35 seconds
Blood Lightening:
This spell is one of pure evil and was created for evil intentions. When casted, any exposed blood within a ten-foot radius of the caster becomes cursed and fires itself at any targets within a ten-foot radius of the target. The victim then suffers half damage to their life force, lose all their defensive magic spell and enchantments (though they can be recasted), and become infected with the curse Contagion. Continuous splash damage can occur if another target is available within three feet of the victim, making it a deadly spell against armies marching in formation. Armor is negated unless it is been heavily enchanted Holy.
Casting time: 30 seconds
Dark Bond:
This spell allows a necromancer to transfer all negative conditions, abnormalities, and magical encumbrances to an undead ally or, if the necromancer is skilled enough, an unwilling victim.
Casting time: 30 seconds
Dark Pact:
By sacrificing a bit of blood and commencing this dark ritual, the necromancer calls upon the aid of a powerful demon or demons, which in turn bestow their powers temporarily on the necromancer.
Casting time: 60 seconds
Demonic Flesh:
By sacrificing a good portion of blood, a thick, scaly, demonic flesh encompasses the entire necromancer and renders him immune to normal and lightly enchanted weapons for several minutes. At the end of this spell, the necromancer’s flesh returns to its regular state.
Casting time: 60 seconds
Life Siphon:
A very dark ritual used by skilled and sadistic necromancers, the spell requires that the necromancer choose a specific target while sacrificing much of his own blood. However, the benefits of the spell are greater than the cost in that the spell siphons the life force of the victim at the same rate the necromancer loses blood and adds the victim’s life force to the necromancer’s, thus replenishing his own supply of blood. Life Siphon allows a sadistic necromancer to slowly (or quickly) kill victims without fear of being killed himself.
Casting time: 30 seconds
Well of Blood:
By sacrificing a few drops of blood, this spell creates a one hundred gallon reservoir of Elven, Draconic, Orcish, Dwarven, or human blood inside of a suitable container. This aids greatly in rituals requiring blood or in feeding a large host of vampires without resorting to hunting for prey.
Casting time: 120 seconds
Blood Bond:
By mixing the blood of the necromancer and the victim in a dark and mysterious ritual, an extremely powerful and almost unshakeable bond is formed between the two. The necromancer assumes the role of master while the victim becomes the submissive servant to the necromancer. This spell can be used to humiliate former enemies and captives or can be used to ensure the loyalty of an apprentice. This spell allows both members to know where the other is and whether or not they require help. The bond continuously strengthens until they know every secret and thought of the other.
Casting time: 1 hour
Awaken the Blood:
A mix between Vampiric and necromantic abilities, this spell has multiple functions. It can serve to reaffirm or strengthen the bond between the necromancer and his Blood Bond partner, strengthen the brood of progeny that the vampire has created, or to bolster the effectiveness of other Blood spells.
Casting time: 300 seconds

Casting time: 15 seconds
Ulcerous Lungs:
The use of this curse is extremely evil and displays how little humanity the necromancer has left in him. Through the most nefarious means, the curse causes the arteries and veins inside of the victim’s lungs to rupture, resulting in the victim drowning in their own blood.
Casting time: 20 seconds
The Ravish of Time:
Considered to be one of the more sinister and evil curses, this particular curse subjects the victim’s body to the destructive force of time. Within seconds, the victim’s body is aged by a thousand years, which can cause rapid death to short-lived mortals.
Casting time: 30 seconds
Vile Touch:
This spell allows a necromancer to cause an enemy to succumb to a disease that rapidly destroys the body.

If left untreated, the body's organs will shut down in a matter of hours.
Casting time: 15 seconds
Contagion:
This spell causes a major disease and weakness in a creature. The afflicted individual is immediately stricken with painful and distracting symptoms: boils, blotches, lesions, seeping abscesses, and so on. It can only be stopped by magical means, and further magical healing is needed to reverse the effects.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Death Nova:
Similar to Wave of Death, this spell requires a corpse to cast. The corpse rapidly fills with nitrogen and other gases and, within seconds, a volatile chemical reaction occurs. The corpse explodes violently, spewing acid and other chemicals in random directions within a ten-foot radius.
Casting time: 20 seconds
Rotting Flesh:
This dark spell allows a necromancer to cause a victim’s flesh to rapidly deteriorate and rot as if it were a corpse buried beneath the ground for many decades. The results are devastating, as the victim loses most of their muscle mass and strength.

Casting time: 5 seconds
Animate Undead:
This spell creates the lowest of the undead monsters--skeletons or zombies--usually from the bones or bodies of dead humans, demihumans, or humanoids. The spell causes existing remains to become animated and obey the simple verbal commands of the caster. The skeletons or zombies can follow the caster, remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific type of creature) entering the place, etc. The undead remain animated until they are destroyed in combat or are turned; the magic cannot be dispelled.

Casting time: 30 seconds
Hold Undead:
When cast, this spell renders immobile up to three undead creatures. No more than three undead can be affected by a single spell. To cast, the wizard aims the spell at a point within range and the three undead closest to this are considered to be in the area of effect, provided all are within the field of vision and spell range of the caster. Undead of a mindless nature (skeletons, zombies, or ghouls) are automatically affected. Other forms of undead can negate this effect. If the spell is successful, it renders the undead immobile for the duration of the spell.
Casting time: 5 seconds
Lorlich's Minor Drain:

Casting time: 5 seconds
Dark Pulse:
This spell is conjures a black bolt of force that unerringly strikes its target, as per a magic missile spell. This tiny black mote of energy corrupts the target’s natural body systems, as concentrated Underdark radiation causes internal shuttering and rapid, erratic muscle movement. In addition, the caster can either have the damage occur instantly, or delay the damage. The last use of this spell will prevent most spellcasters from casting spells while they are suffering damage. Unlike the magic missile spell, a dark pulse is not stopped by a shield spell.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Corpse Link:
With this versatile spell, a wizard establishes a sensory link between himself and a corpse or freshly animated zombie of a human, demihuman, or humanoid within the spell's range. This link allows the caster to gather sensory information from the vicinity of the cadaver or undead being, including Sight, Smell, Taste, Hearing, and Feeling.
Casting time: 20 seconds
Phantom Armor:
When this spell is cast, the wizard creates a quasi-real suit of plate mail. This semi-illusory material covers the subject and actually gives some real protection unless a dispel magic or dispel illusion spell is cast upon it, or a wand of negation affects it. This spell will not function with any other form of magical protection. Until gone, or disbelieved, the armor protects the wearer as if it was plate mail. When the armor has absorbed too much damage, it is dispelled and vanishes. Any remaining damage occurs to the wearer. The armor in no way affects the movement or spellcasting abilities of the wearer. Phantom armor is not subject to rust.
Casting time: 12 seconds
Spirit Armor:
This spell allows the wizard to surround himself with a portion of his own essence, which takes the form of a shimmering aura. The spirit armor offers protection equivalent to splint mail and grants the wizard higher defense against magic. The spirit armor's effects are not cumulative with other types of armor or magical protection, but Dexterity bonuses do apply. The spirit armor is effective against magical and nonmagical weapons and attacks. It does not hinder movement or add weight or encumbrance. It does not interfere with spellcasting. When the spell ends, the aura dissipates and the caster might sustain some damage to his essence, which can only be healed by magical means.
Casting time: 15 seconds
Death Army:
When casted, this spell summons forth a temporary army of invincible powers that will seek and destroy everything (except allies) within a ten-meter radius of the summoner. The army only remains for a total of twenty seconds before being forced back into the realm in which they were summoned from. If the summoner moves, the army will follow and continue to kill until they are gone. This spell can only be casted once a day or three times a week.
Casting time: 75 seconds
Preserve Dead:

Casting time: 1 second
Ray of Fatigue:

Casting time: 10 seconds
Shadow Drain:
When cast, a Rift is created between the Plane of Shadow and whichever Plane the caster is on through which many Shadows (as per the Monster Manual) "lash out" at the target for just an instant. Unless immune to the affects of a Shadow's touch, the victim suffers moderate wounds and is prone to becoming warped into a phantom unless it is counteracted by holy magic.
Casting time: 20 seconds
Corruption:
This spell inundates the target with an emotional flurry of corruption and greed. A person who fails to stop all hostile actions against the caster will temporarily succumb to the temptations of dark power and becomes transfixed, lost among delusions of grandeur, and unable to take any actions for the duration of the spell. Successfully stopping hostile actions allows the person to be completely free of the spell's effect. After the spell expires, a person who was hostile in the beginning might be predisposed to favoring the caster. If the victim remains hostile, the target will hesitate for one minute before attempting any offensive move against the caster, his minions, or property.
Casting time: 40 seconds
Remove Disease:
This spell will effectively remove any disease inflicted upon the caster by successfully counteracting its powers. Any further damage done by the disease must be healed naturally or through magic.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Delay Death:
Through the powerful kinship that a necromancer shares with death, he is able to use this spell to delay his inevitable downfall should he be mortally wounded. Depending on the severity of the wound, he can usually survive for several more hours or even a few more days. Unless, of course, if he is decapitated.
Casting time: 60 seconds
Cause Blindness:
The blindness spell causes the victim to become blind, able to see only grayness before its eyes. Various cure spells will not remove this effect, and only a dispel magic or the spellcaster can do away with the blindness.

When the spell is cast, a 10 ft. radius sphere of dark energy appears around the desired location and quickly fades. All life-shaped creatures within the sphere must flee or be slain instantly. Nonliving organic material such as wood, and leather must be moved or it will crumble to dust.
Casting time: 35 seconds
Paralyzing Touch:
When the caster completes this spell, a red glow encompasses his hand. This energy attacks the life force of any living creature upon which the wizard makes a successful melee attack.

Damage must be cured magically or healed naturally. This spell has a special effect on undead creatures, which causes them to flee in terror.
Casting time: 10 seconds
Ray of Paralysis:
This spell, when casted, projects an energy beam that will target and viciously assault the nervous system of a victim until they either become paralyzed or are able to flee far enough away that the caster cannot reach them (usually beyond fifteen feet).
Casting time: 5 seconds
Stench of Death:
This spell, when casted, causes the overwhelming and nauseating aroma of death to permeate thickly in the air around the area targeted. Wind, magical or natural, will cause the spell to spread.

Casting time: 10 seconds
Infravision:
Always active, this allows the necromancer to detect heat emitted from bodies or other sources during the night. It is also the standard sight for necromancers, elves, orcs, and Drow at night.
Casting time: none
Possession:
The necromancer's spirit temporarily leaves his body and attempts to possess another. This lasts until next sunrise or until the necromancer ends it.

Casting time: none, but physical presence is required
Soul Trap:
By the darkest and most secretive means, a spell caster can use this spell to trap an enemy's soul (essence) into a soulstone, soul gem, phylactery, or other suitable container.
Casting time: 60 seconds
Life Transfer:
With years of training, dedication, and skill, a necromancer can learn to transfer his own soul to another suitable corpse or, if he dares, transfer the soul of victim to another body.
Casting time: 120 seconds
Soul Bind:
A necromancer of considerable skill can forcibly bind the soul of an unwilling victim either to an object (such as armor or a weapon), himself (to gain more power), or to any other living being. Soul Bind can also be used by a lich whose physical body has been destroyed (with the phylactery still intact) and seeks an alternative to possession or rebuilding a physical body. The result is similar to possession, but the victim’s soul is infused into the lich’s.
Casting time: 300 seconds
